Re: Absolute Beginner

Hello Duy,

Thanks for your reply. Since this is my first visit to this mailing-list, I don't know its etiquette rules yet. Is this the place to get help? Can I post long messages? The whole story of setting up our Git server is quite big... :-)

Anyway, follows below a list of some of the places where I've found the instructions I've mentioned:

http://progit.org/book/ch4-0.html
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt
http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-a-public-git-repository-on-a-debian-server
http://batterypowered.wordpress.com/2008/07/04/deploying-a-git-repository-server-in-ubuntu/
http://mattrude.com/2009/07/creating-a-secure-git-repository-server/
http://scie.nti.st/2007/11/14/hosting-git-repositories-the-easy-and-secure-way
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-daemon.html
http://gofedora.com/how-to-install-configure-gitweb/

Trying to make it short, the last attempt to push a local project to the server produced the following results:

(...)

Thanks again,

I'm an absolute beginner with Git. So far I've managed to install, understand
and use Git locally, but am facing many difficulties on using a centralized
repository on a LAN local server. I've followed the instructions on many
places over the web, but none has worked so far. As the development team
grows (we're 5 at this moment), consolidating and synchronizing the files is
becoming almost impossible. Any help will be much appreciated.

We need to know what difficulties you have. What do you want to
achieve? What instructions have you followed? What commands have you
tried? Any errors from them...
